I can just see myself in a purple velvet suit with a feathered hat, cruising down the boulevard in this little number.

Nicely done, and also what appears to be a lovely car. Now, I'm no expert, but that wouldn't happen to be a hard top Cadillac Eldorado, would it?

Edit: having revisited the collection of car porn that is typing 'Cadillac Eldorado' into google image search, I fear not. Which is a shame, as it's my most favourite car, but this is also lovely.

# A '57 Chevy

# Yes, I just checked google.
I do love the Eldorado, I want a soft top one eventually (the '59) but this is also gorgeous. I shall add '57 Chevy' to the list of cars I like more than motorbikes, which is very few.

# All
late 50s merkin cars are gorgeous. Art on wheels. The 58 Chevy is nice too.

# Ooooh!
Well thank you for letting me know!


I think if I do get a pretty car, because of the width of the roads round here (I live in a town, but it's in the middle of the coutryside with thin singletrack roads) I may have to get this:

1990 TVR Chimera

OR

If I inherit the nice car of my Granddads, it'll be one of these:

His has been a labour of love though.

# Nice to meet
a fellow petrol-headette! May I reccomend watching the film American Graffitti?
An orgy of great cars, great music (all the way through), a young Harrison Ford and it's bloody funny too!

# the funny thing is, I can't drive.
Well, I can, but not round corners very well and not without getting arrested. I drove a friend and myself home from a house party once a few years back, as she was smashed and I wasn't, and we went the entire way at ten miles an hour with me shitting myself. Luckily, no cops to be found.

# Woo!
How did you do that? I'm working with carp software here. Photoshop limited Edition* 4.

*ie. free but not much better than paint.

# You can do something like that on the shop I've got
which is CS2- I don't have any problems with it, although apparently a lot of people don't like it.

# Funnily enough...
I'm using the free upgrade to paint:
Paint.NET

It has some rather nice built-in features (I used the gradient tool for that) and also some awesome plugins for downloading from their forum.
And it's freeeeee!
